Lawrence also clarified that while the site characterized her top as a bra it was actually Alexander Wang. The designer in turn posted a screenshot on his meme-heavy personal Instagram and noted, “my job is done.” Because, hey, when cool girls want to let loose and have fun, Wang is certainly their go-to uniform. Just ask Bella Hadid about her Met Gala outfit. | | Netflix, According to French Cinephiles | Despite the fact that the festival includes a Roman Polanski movie, the biggest controversy amongst those who actually get to attend the Cannes Film Festival this year seems to be Netflix. The streaming service is bringing two films to the festival as part of a strategy to capture the same level of prestige for its original movies as it does with its television series. Though, as it turns out, French cinephiles really love the film temple of an actual theater, and while Cannes announced it will allow Netflix to participate this year it won’t next year unless they commit to releasing those films traditionally through theaters first in France. It’s a whole controversial thing which also involves weird French laws that you can read more about here, but it should be noted that emotions are strong enough about the whole thing that it actually lead to a bit of a heated trading of words between, of all people, Pedro Almodóvar and Will Smith. | | The Same Old Jims Hosting Awards Shows | | Our Hopes for More Tina and Amy Hosting Gigs | At least two of next year’s awards show will look an awful lot like this year’s awards show (and several others before that) in that they’ll be hosted by familiar white guy talk show hosts with a name that’s some derivative of “James.” Indeed, Jimmy Kimmel will be back once again to host next year’s Oscars (interesting considering he was chosen relatively late in the game to host this year’s). Of course, you can probably expect lots of jokes about that Best Picture envelope mess up. He’s already making them. “If you think we screwed up the ending this year wait until you see what we have planned for the 90th anniversary show!” Kimmel said in a statement. Meanwhile, the Grammys are asking James Corden back to host and inevitably do some sort of karaoke. Of course that means the only major awards show diversity we have in site are Kevin Spacey at the Tonys and Stephen Colbert at the Emmys. They are both white guys, and one is even a talk show host, but at least their given name isn’t “James.” Here’s hoping the Golden Globes does better and doesn’t necessarily repeat with their own James from last year in the form of Fallon (for at least one host suggestion please see whose birthday it is below). | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jessica Chastain is in Cannes to participate a jury member, but before she left she posted a #TBT with her new BFF Isabelle Huppert. | | | | | | | | | | Josefine Pettersen, 21 (Scandinavia's Blake Lively) Tina Fey, 47 (Our Greatest Working Sitcom Writer) Chow Yun-Fat, 62 (Our Dream Golden Globes Host, Actually)
